Coming Soon! Ellen Hopkins – What Would You Give To Be ‘Perfect’?
Mrs. Corey called our book vendor today to check on our book order of 500 books that shipped on Tuesday. We found out the books wouldn’t arrive this week as expected, but will be delayed until next week! *sadface*
However, our most requested book is coming – Ellen Hopkins’ Perfect. We have 8 copies arriving and many holds already placed! If you’d like to get a copy, be sure to ask a librarian to place a hold on it for you!
In the meantime, you can watch Ellen Hopkins speak about her widely anticipated new book!
